Sports Premium

Information for parents

Sports premium money is ring-fenced funding from central government to improve the provision of PE and sport.

There are 5 key indicators that schools should expect to see improvement across:

The engagement of all pupils in regular physical activity
The profile of PE and sport is raised across the school as a tool for whole-school improvement
Increased confidence, knowledge and skills of all staff in teaching PE and sport
Broader experience of a range of sports and activities offered to all pupils
Increased participation in competitive sport

What our children think about their PE lessons?

'We really like PE in the morning… it wakes us up for our learning.' Year 5
'It is different to our other lessons. I love it.' Year 3
'I enjoy working in a team and learning new skills.' Year 6
'It was really good going swimming again, I feel I have improved.' Year 4

Increased confidence, knowledge & skills of all teaching staff

Over the last few years, our teachers have had the opportunity to participate in the CCFC Primary stars programme, Engage! Tag Rugby programme, One Body, One Life and newly rebranded CVlife tag rugby programme. The aim of the programmes is to use the external coaches to engage primary school children in the areas of PE & School Sport.

The various coaches have worked alongside our staff to not only inspire children in PE (working on Fundamental Movement Skills) but to help develop the class teacher’s confidence, subject knowledge and skills in teaching primary PE and school sport.

They have also raised the profile of PE and leading an active lifestyle across the school, by delivering a number of assemblies, intra and inter sports festivals and supporting out annual sports day with activities such as the 'Speed-shot' challenge.

Mrs Sidhu said 'It has been an inspiring programme and has really improved my knowledge and understanding of PE. I feel more confident in teaching fundamental skills and following a PE lesson plan.'
